A National League executive (no name ... of course) told the New York Daily News on Friday that the LA Dodgers aren't interested in pursuing Robinson Cano if the Yankees second baseman hits the free-agent market (which he will).

The exec's take-it-to-the-bank quote: “They’re not interested in Cano.”

Possible reasons? We'll guess, since the exec didn't elaborate on the record: Cano's reported demand for a 10-year, $305 million contract (Cano didn't deny that number on Friday, by the way.); the Dodgers perhaps signing Cuban second baseman Alexander Guerrero to a (much) cheaper contract; and a projected 2014 payroll that's already at more than $160 million for just 14 players and which doesn't include the eight-figure salary that Clayton Kershaw will receive.

Cano held court with the media in Houston prior to Bombers' season-ending series vs. the Astros. He said the $305 million number didn't come from his camp, but he didn't say it came from the Yankees, either.

“I know a lot of things are going to come out. ‘He said,’ ‘a source,’ ‘friends of Robbie,’” the Daily News quoted Cano as saying. “But I know what we’re doing and what we’re not doing. I just want to go on vacation, sit down and enjoy, not be watching the news or anything because it’s going to be crazy.”

Cano is represented by Roc Nation, the agency run by Jay-Z.

Cano also tried to play coy about where he's leaning. First, this:

“I haven’t said that I’m leaving, I haven’t said that I’m staying,” Cano said, per the Daily News. “I’m going to be a free agent, so I’ll just wait for that day, see what my family and I decide. We have a lot of time."

Then, this:

“Don’t get me wrong; I love this organization, I love the Yankees fans and the way they have treated me since I came up.”
